The chip addresses the fact that a large proportion of slave devices in use today will have to be replaced and/or updated if cyber risk threats are to be countered adequately for cloud-based and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications.

This air to air technology takes advantage of a cooler ambient environment especially in harsh (dusty, oily, dirty) conditions when closed-loop cooling is required.

Built-in Wi-Fi, NFC, 3G/4G LTE, and Bluetooth 4.1 technologies provide connectivity for data acquisition, transmissions, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and real-time communication with backend systems.

The whitepaper outlines why organizations need to move beyond IT/OT convergence to ensure full integration—for enterprise security.

This edition of InTech Focus concentrates on understanding the fundamentals of IIoT-enabled valve controllers, including the range of sensors and switches that can make valves and instruments smart, as well as the benefits of remotely mounting valve positioners.

In this edition of AUTOMATION 2020, you’ll discover how to leverage standardized IIoT ecosystems, as well as how to design fault tolerant IIoT. You’ll learn how dynamic digital twins can be even more beneficial than static digital twins, and discover how smart instruments feed data analytics.

In 2021, ISA will host a series of webinars, virtual conferences, and publish a series of educational ebooks covering four broad automation topic categories: Cybersecurity, IIoT & Smart Manufacturing, Digital Transformation, and Process Control & Instrumentation.

This edition of InTech Focus centers on fundamentals of process safety, including how safety best practices improve OT cyber security, managing SIS process measurement risk and cost, and the impact of ISA-84.1.

This edition of InTech Focus explains the basics of the effective use of various types of flowmeters to ensure food-product quality, improve reliability and uptime of chemical plants, and accurately measure the bulk movement of natural gas. You’ll also find tips for avoiding common installation mistakes, and how to handle aggressive media like acids or alkalis.

Organizations need data-based energy management solutions to succeed in the era of digitalization, says a new ABB whitepaper.

In this edition of AUTOMATION 2020 from automation.com, you’ll discover how these tools support digital twins for upstream oil and gas production, learn how to enable a next-generation edge-tocloud control architecture, and review cloud/edge computing projects that could apply to your facility.

In this edition of AUTOMATION 2020, you’ll learn about the promise and reality of control systems that combine such new technologies with the robustness, security, and sophistication needed for industrial applications.

InTech Focus ebooks from ISA focus on the fundamentals of essential automation components. This May 2020 edition covers pressure and temperature instrumentation.

In this edition of AUTOMATION 2020 from Automation.com, find out how to bolster business resiliency in the face of cyberthreats, how to protect against threats to industrial control systems, the latest on USB port intrusion threats, the next big step in EtherNet/ IP security, and more.

Formerly called Advancing Automation, this ebook series includes sponsored and curated articles from a variety of experts on the latest in smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0 topics, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

This edition of InTech Focus explains the basics of some remarkable technologies, including frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar, pulsed-wave or pulsed-width radar, ultrasonic level measurement, and more.

When it comes to non-contact continuous level measurement, radar and ultrasonic are two of the most common technologies used. This paper will compare and contrast 80 GHz radar sensors with ultrasonic transmitters for liquid and solid level measurements.

This paper will explore how one construction materials hauling company used level measurement sensors and IIoT networks to better manage their operation.

To help make the process of selecting linear motors simpler, we’ll start by explaining the mechanics of a direct drive linear motor and contrast it with a more traditional indirect drive system.

Whether you’re tasked with recommending what to buy, a purchasing agent or the ultimate end user, you can ensure that you’re getting the right system by learning a bit about the most important parts to focus on.
